Edward rushes in and brought Renesmee back to his family.

However, the Cullens fought back despite the numbers until one of the guards to use his gift to disable Bella, Edward and Alice’s gifts so that Alec can use his to block out the Cullens senses to make it easier for the guards to restrain them. However Lucas used his aura to block out Alec’s gift and was the only one free. When Aro states how Lucas look so familiar to him, Edward discovers from reading Aro’s mind that the Volturi were the ones who killed Lucas’s family from the fire. The news shocks Lucas into rage as he takes down every member of the coven that got in his way including Marcus, single handily until he reaches Aro where he was about to kill him for revenge until he was stopped by Carlisle and Renesmee.
